Individualized College Support Everywhere You Need It
Welcome to Collegiate Virtual.
Individualized virtual college support everywhere you need it. Now is the time; wherever you are is the place.
We are working together at collegiate institutions everywhere. Everything that is available in our in-person model is also available virtually. In our online model, the level of student engagement is as consistent as our in-person one. And virtual support allows for more tailored check-ins that benefit neurodiverse learners by minimizing the distractions often associated with in-person interactions. With sustained engagement, we accomplish more. Success breeds success and strengthens our relationships with students.
Digital natives, our students communicate with their peers, socialize, and often attend classes virtually. This is where they communicate more freely; it’s where they learn and share ideas more comfortably. We get that and structure our relationships accordingly. The convenience of this platform and our unbounded availability make us efficient when our students need us.
Resonant Relationships
Within the context of these resonant relationships, comfortability leads to greater cognitive flexibility, self-awareness, and better, more open communication. This ease, fostered by mutual trust and empathic listening, is the bedrock of our work during the academic year and in our Summer Cohort. It is here that students find a respectful, safe environment in which they can honestly self-report, and our staff can give appropriate feedback in the form of digital prompts, regular meetings, and frequent check-ins.
Pairing Summer Cohort with Collegiate Virtual
Pairing Summer Cohort with Collegiate Virtual creates a seamless bridge between preparation and long-term success. Students gain support before they arrive on campus and continue receiving that same high-level guidance throughout their college journey.
When Collegiate Virtual students also participate in the Summer Cohort, they engage in multiple interactions and meaningful exchanges with their specialist before college begins, fostering the consistent connection that builds trust, confidence, and momentum. By the time fall begins, they already have an established relationship with the person who will continue supporting them.
Less Logistics, More Direct Support
Our approach is focused on outcomes rather than hours. Our experience has been with individualized virtual college support, certain layers of complexity disappear. Free from the demands of in-person interactions, many students are far more likely to show up and engage. Our meetings happen with ease; where the students want them to happen. Our meetings can often be shorter and more directed with fewer distractions or interruptions. With shorter, more focused meetings that occur with greater frequency, we increase the amount of productive time we spend together.
Individualized Virtual College Support Anywhere
As with our in-person model, our support is focused on student success. Individual goals define what progress will look like for each student. In other words, our support is not a matter of plugging a student into an existing program, but of tailoring the Collegiate Virtual program to meet the specific needs of each student.
The level of self-awareness and self-advocacy required for college students is of a different magnitude than that required of secondary school students. This is where Focus Collegiate fills in the gaps to make a smooth transition from high school to college or college re-entry after a pause.
The individualized, collaborative approach that distinguishes Focus Collegiate and Collegiate Virtual from the other substitutes is confidence and accountability wherever you are.
